The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife
Chapter 43 - 43 43 Fierce Battle

43: Chapter 43: Fierce Battle 43: Chapter 43: Fierce Battle In the private room, Luo Shiqi and Ye Shikai sat in chairs, staring at a huge screen showing surveillance footage near the Dark Night Bar.

“If those assassins see the bomb didn’t go off, they will definitely make a move,” Ye Shikai said.

In his view, since the bomb had been disarmed, the only threat left was that group of assassins.

The SWAT team and Luo Shiqi’s subordinates would soon arrive, and by then, even if the assassins were formidable, they wouldn’t be able to turn the tide.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people over.

Moreover, the people by my side are not to be underestimated,” Ye Shikai glanced at the bodyguards next to Luo Shiqi.

Indeed, they were all trained fighters, at least on the level of special forces, and what was most crucial was that Ye Shikai could see the murderous aura on them; these people had definitely killed before, and not just once.

“Look, they’re coming,” Luo Shiqi, watching the screen, said.

Over twenty people in black, each holding a submachine gun, rushed towards the Dark Night Bar.

Despite being psychologically prepared, Ye Shikai was still shocked by the attackers’ boldness.

In Huaxia, gun control is very strict.

The last time, the assassins in the shopping mall only had pistols, but this time they had all switched to submachine guns.

Some passersby stared at the group of gun-toting assassins, first in surprise, not too panicked, seemingly mistaking this situation for a movie scene.

After all, in a big city like Yanjing, it would be impossible for a group of people to brazenly use real guns to commit murder.

The twenty-odd individuals charged toward the Dark Night Bar, unmindful of the gazes from the passersby.

Luo Shiqi’s people had also been ready to leap into action.

Outside the private room, a dozen bodyguards pulled out handguns from inside their jackets, aiming squarely at the entrance.

“Bang!” A bodyguard pulled the trigger, and an assassin collapsed at the entrance in response.

The other bodyguards opened fire as well, but the opposing assassins were not to be trifled with, being in the assassination business for so many years and having experienced all kinds of sudden situations made them immediately react.

Despite the ambush, they rapidly dispersed to find cover, then took the opportunity to strike back.

Although Luo Shiqi’s bodyguards had the upper hand, they were inevitably outgunned by the enemy’s submachine guns, and with the assassins also outnumbering them, they rapidly got pinned down by the overwhelming firepower and fell into a disadvantage.

But these bodyguards were not disorderly: they made full use of the cover around them to defend and tried to hold off the assassins as much as possible.

They understood that as long as they could hold out until reinforcements arrived, these men would be sitting ducks.

Suddenly, a shadow flashed by quickly, like a bolt of lightning racing towards Luo Shiqi’s bodyguards, moving straight into the line of bullets.

One bodyguard, seeing this, couldn’t help but feel somewhat elated, thinking that someone was coming forward to meet their death.

But the very next second, the bodyguard’s mouth dropped open in shock.

The shadow seemed to completely disregard the bullets, appearing in front of him in an instant—a devilish face, icy eyes full of murderous intent.

It was Du Ya.

Du Ya reached out and clutched the bodyguard’s throat, then twisted his palm with a “crack,” directly breaking the bodyguard’s neck and tossing the corpse aside before immediately lurching towards another bodyguard to do the same, neatly breaking his neck.

The remaining bodyguards, seeing the situation turning grim, no longer cared about the assassins with submachine guns.

They turned their guns towards Du Ya, and bullets began firing rapidly from their guns.

Du Ya, however, just slightly shifted his stance, his expression ferocious, and vanished from view in an instant.

Ye Shikai stood up abruptly in the private room, witnessing this scene.

A cultivator—this person was definitely a cultivator.

Others might not know what it means to be a cultivator, but Ye Shikai was well aware.

This assassin, like himself, was a cultivator with Inner Strength within his body, unlike ordinary assassins and mercenaries.

Cultivators can utilize the Inner Strength within them to perform feats beyond the reach of normal people.

Du Ya was one such example; otherwise, it would be impossible for a normal person to disappear in an instant, regardless of their skill.

Ye Shikai knew that once a cultivator was involved, Luo Shiqi’s bodyguards were like lambs to the slaughter, only fit to be butchered by Du Ya.

It seemed like today, he would have to take matters into his own hands.

“Stay here and wait for me, there’s some trouble outside, I’ll go help them.”

“Okay, be careful yourself,” Luo Shiqi said, also having noticed something extraordinary about one of the assassins on the monitor.

Seeing him effortlessly take down several of her bodyguards with his bare hands, she recalled how Ye Shikai had taken down more than a dozen men by himself in the shopping mall last time.

She knew Ye Shikai’s abilities were extraordinary, but she still worried, especially since Ye Shikai had taken a bullet in the shoulder trying to save her last time.

Despite her concerns, Luo Shiqi also felt moved; this man always stood up during dangerous times and had saved her several times over.

Ye Shikai opened the door, and his gaze met Du Ya’s not far away.

Neither of them went for the melodramatic self-introduction seen in TV dramas—they simply got down to business.

When masters make their move, you know if they’ve got it or not.

After three exchanges, each recognized the other’s strength.

Ye Shikai, after all, is the Netherworld King.

Although Du Ya was a cultivator, he was vastly outclassed compared to Ye Shikai.

A serious expression painted Du Ya’s face; he knew well he was no match for Ye Shikai.

If Ye Shikai were to strike mercilessly, he might not withstand even a single move.

“Who are you, and why are you stopping me from assassinating Luo Shiqi?”

“Hmph, Luo Shiqi is my woman.

You try to kill my woman, how could it not be my business?”

“What?

You’re Luo Shiqi’s man?

Impossible.

We’ve investigated her, how could she possibly have a man?” Du Ya’s face revealed an expression of disbelief; he had investigated Luo Shiqi multiple times.

If Luo Shiqi truly had a man, he would have certainly found out.

Ye Shikai sneered twice, “Now she does.” Then he swiftly moved in front of Du Ya and threw a fierce punch at Du Ya’s chest.

Du Ya hurriedly used his hands to protect his heart, but the disparity in power was too great, and his body flew out like a kite, crashing onto a distant table.

“You…

who in the world are you?” Du Ya spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion pale.

“Hmph, the dead don’t deserve to know my identity, but since you’re the first expert I’ve encountered since coming to Huaxia, I’ll tell you,” Ye Shikai whispered into Du Ya’s ear, “I am the Netherworld King.”

“What?

You’re the Main God, the Netherworld King.” Upon hearing Ye Shikai’s identity, Du Ya’s face underwent a drastic change, showing a look of astonishment.

“Alright, dying at the hands of the Netherworld King today doesn’t seem unjust.”

“Don’t mess with someone you shouldn’t in your next life.” Having said that, Ye Shikai swung his fist into Du Ya’s heart, his Inner Strength directly shattering Du Ya’s heart.

Du Ya, dead.
